During the 2020 Presidential Election, I wondered if this particular strategy might surface. It didn’t, mainly because the Republicans didn’t realize that Kamala Harris was the hidden voter-getter for Biden.
Now, with Biden’s advancing years, they think they can scare the American public into voting for the GOP by raising the spectre of “President Harris”. Have they really thought this through?
Young, black women will gladly vote for Biden again, because the odds are in their favour that they will finally get the president they truly want, even if it’s through the back door of the White House. I kid you not.
Richard III was the last of the Plantagenet dynasty (to die nasty) and his death ended the English Middle Ages (or so we are led to believe). I have a personal issue with this individual, but that’s neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things. To come within a sword’s length of his killing the future Henry VII is a little too close for comfort, even after some 638 years. It was the ultimate battle between ‘good and evil’. But that’s not why we’re here today. (This post was triggered by the CBC airing a production of William Shakespeare’s “Richard III” at Stratford, Ontario, last night.)
As with most English royalty, birth times are a matter of history, so I think we can rely upon this one.
There are three inconjuncts…
Moon Inconjunct Mercury
You shouldn’t allow your feelings to overrun your reason. The best thing to do whenever there seems to be a conflict between these two areas is to not make a decision immediately. Reflect and wait for further information that might help you make up your mind. As you get older, this problem should lessen considerably, and you should be able to make decisions more and more rapidly.
Mars Inconjunct Ascendant
In close relationships you have to learn to compromise. Initially you may come on very strong and act very aggressively toward someone you are interested in. But that approach only provokes conflict because the other person feels threatened. If you learn to take a softer approach, you will be able to get what you want, within reason, without having to fight for it.
One of the more difficult sides of this aspect is that you must learn to understand whether or not someone has violated your rights. You may think that this is the case even when it isn’t. Learn to discriminate.
Jupiter Inconjunct Uranus
You will always need freedom, but you will also discover that what you do with your life will have meaning only if it means something to others. This is not an artificial rule but a truth that you will discover within yourself. When you do, you may become heavily involved in some social movement that advocates unusual ideas or ways of thinking. When you are an adult, you may join a movement for social reform and change. However, even in a group that embodies your own thinking, you will find it hard to adjust to the group’s demands on your own time and freedom. Consequently you will probably leave that group and join another, until that one also becomes oppressive. While you are young, you may have a similar problem with your friends as well. When they start to expect too much of your time and energy, you will break away from them.
Neville Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972)
I was alerted to this individual by Cash Peters, the English Channel. When viewing his transition pictures, Cash said they made him cry, which never happens, normally. That peaked my attention.
Jonathan L. Walton has contended that Frederick Eikerenkoetter, best known as Reverend Ike, in particular adopted theories and teachings rooted in Goddard’s ideas. Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer have noted that Goddard shaped their views. Margaret Runyan Castaneda, ex-wife and later biographer of Carlos Castaneda, was interested in Goddard’s work and introduced Castaneda to Goddard’s ideas.
In 2015, books by Neville Goddard including Feeling Is The Secret, At Your Command and Out of This World were released as audiobooks, narrated by Hillary Hawkins.
Goddard was influenced by writer William Blake and early self-help theorists Émile Coué and Thomson Jay Hudson.
The timing of this birth chart is considered excellent, as it is ‘from memory’. There are two inconjuncts.
Mercury Inconjunct Midheaven
It is very important that you develop your mind and your powers of thought, so that you can use them to attain whatever objectives you set for yourself. But while you are young, you may not be able to accept your own ideas as valid if they contradict what you have been taught. Yet you cannot simply suppress your own ways of thinking. If you try, you will create tension and probably create a gap between what you are trying to do and what you say. When you are older you may express this tension by making indiscreet remarks that totally get in the way of your objectives.
Venus Inconjunct Mars
You must learn to control your emotions to some extent, so that your feelings do not prevent you from getting along with others. It is difficult for you to react to someone without emotions, for you tend to either love or hate people quite intensely. Your feelings are often mixed, even toward your friends. One moment you love your friend, and the next moment you hate him or her. Any little problem can set off your anger against someone, but you usually cool off quickly also. Your close relationships will be a bit stormier than most, but this should not be a serious problem in later life. In fact you probably prefer stormy relationships, because it means that you are really involved with the other person.
Yukio Mishima (January 14, 1925 – November 25, 1970)
I’m not even sure how I came across this story of the leader of a failed coup in Japan. Oh, right, it was this YouTube video.
But the lesson that’s attached to this man’s life (and death) is that one’s identity is tied up in doing that which the spirit leads you to do, and following through to the very end. This echoes Jesus’ life and death.
This timing is considered good because it’s based on a biography of Yukio Mishima. I suspect the real time was 15 minutes earlier, as then the Moon would have been exactly conjunct the Virgo Ascendant, and the Mars (death by sword) would have matched his age (45) when he killed himself.
As it stands, this chart has two interactive Yods, one pointing at (said) Mars, and one pointing at Saturn, tied to the Ascendant and the Midheaven. There is one further inconjunct linking the Sun and Neptune.
Sun Inconjunct Neptune
On the other hand, you can develop into a compassionate and understanding person who instinctively knows what others need and how to serve them. True selfless service to others, giving of yourself voluntarily rather than because you feel there is no choice, will make you feel good.
Mars Inconjunct Saturn
On the positive side, this aspect can mean that you control your aggressions and energies so that they work out constructively. But make sure that you do work out your aggression instead of keeping it hidden, because that can result in sudden bursts of temper, which may work against you.
Mars Inconjunct Ascendant
Learn to work for the good of others by making their objectives your objectives, whenever possible. This aspect can signify the ability to accomplish a great deal, as long as you do not spend all of your time and energy feeling angry and resentful about seemingly undeserved defeats. When you have a real goal to work toward that you can share with others, you will be able to attain that goal.
Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven
On the plus side, if you get adequate reinforcement from your parents and other adults, you can become a very conscientious person who understands at an early age what is expected of you. Later in life you are likely to adopt a rather strict routine of daily living, because the structure itself gives you confidence.
During the 2022 midterm elections in the USA, I started to question if any of us should rely upon political polls. If you take samples of the population and ask them a question, like, “Who do you want to win?” you might get one response. If you ask, “Who are you voting for, Conservatives or Liberals?” you might get another. As several commentators in the American media are saying, their recent polls are national ones, not state ones, so they don’t show, for example, who might win during the primary selection process. And because the Donald seems to have (at minimum) a 30 point lead over his nearest GOP rival (Ron Desanctimonious), it feels like the effects of Trump’s criminal cases are null and void. But are they really?
The voting public are a fickle bunch: even though they might espouse the idea of supporting one political opponent over another, the underlying reason for their tactical vote may be tied to whatever social issue is on their personal agenda. So, we mustn’t count the chickens before they hatch!
This person couldn’t be more different than the other female judge in Trump’s federal court cases.
I don’t know Ms. Chutkan’s time of birth, so I set the clock to 12 noon, local Jamaican time. There are three inconjuncts, two of which are dependent on this being the correct time, so only one is definite. Two form a Yod, pointing at Saturn (conjunct South Node) in Aquarius. But I shouldn’t hold my breath.
Jupiter Inconjunct Ascendant (perhaps)
With this aspect, you may discover that in order to grow and get ahead in life, you will have to put aside your own needs and do whatever the situation or other people require. At times you will go through tremendous and possibly painful creative changes in your life, in which everything that you are is replaced by a new order. Your environment may change radically, or you may lose all your old friends and find a whole set of new ones. During these times you will arrive at new understandings and realizations that make it impossible for your life to continue as before. You must always be open to new ideas and be willing to change your outlook on life.
Saturn Inconjunct Pluto (definitely)
Even under favorable circumstances, this aspect usually means that you are resistant to change, that you hold on to any situation, no matter how bad, until it is totally intolerable. Then when change does take place, it has to create a revolution and a total breakdown of everything that came before it. You must learn to adapt to circumstances a bit more gracefully and not be afraid of occasional compromise.
This aspect usually does mean that you are tough and can contend with a great deal of adversity, but don’t develop an attitude that makes adversity inevitable.
You may find it difficult to get along with others, because you are unnecessarily afraid of what they want from you. Learn to associate only with people whom you can trust.
Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven (maybe)
You can become a very conscientious person who understands at an early age what is expected of you. Even while you are young, you prefer work or a serious activity to play. As a result, you may prefer the company of older people. You also like structured situations in which you must do certain things at certain times, with your duties and time limits clearly spelled out for you. Later in life you are likely to adopt a rather strict routine of daily living, because the structure itself gives you confidence.
In any case it is good to associate with people your own age, to avoid becoming so isolated that you cannot deal with people. This also helps to counter your loneliness.
Is it starting to become ‘ho-hum’? Like the moon shots in the 1970’s, people started to tune out after the original excitement of the first men on the Moon in July 1969. Now, we just take it for granted.
The Yod pointing at Venus, formed by inconjuncts to Neptune and Pluto, is probably like Napoleon’s Waterloo. There are also inconjuncts linking the Sun and the Moon, and Jupiter with the Ascendant. Hmm.
So, how is it affecting Trump?
I though so: that Yod in the Arraignment chart is now pointing at Trump’s natal Mars (which is conjunct the event Venus). The event Moon is inconjunct Trump’s natal Pluto, which is conjunct the event Sun. The event Saturn is inconjunct Trump’s natal Neptune, and Trump’s natal Moon/South Node conjunction is inconjunct the event Uranus. Trump is mad as hell and isn’t wanting to do this anymore.
He’s right: this never should have happened…but it did and now he has to face the music and dance.
George Michael (June 25, 1963 – December 25, 2016)
We watched the Netflix documentary Wham! last night. I’d forgotten how instrumental “Top of the Pops” was in making this duo the success they were in the UK and later the whole world. I moved to England in the very middle of their rise to prominence. Their Christmas hit, “Last Christmas” got pushed off the number one spot in the UK charts by Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” That must have hurt, since George Michael was part of the assembled singers on that record, too.
Then George went solo.
This timing is considered excellent. That Moon opposition Saturn probably explains a lot about George’s emotional issues. His father was strict and his mother was tolerant. George probably tried to please his father, but went against his wishes by teaming up with Andrew Ridgeley, a childhood friend. Years later, George’s father would be so proud of him, but the bad boy image may have stuck. There are two inconjunct, both involving Neptune.
Mercury Inconjunct Neptune
The challenge of this aspect is to make your thinking and communication with others more clear. Your rational mind is strongly influenced by your sensitivity, imagination and ideals, although you aren’t always sure how this happens. You tend to spend too much time in your own imaginary world that no one can share, and this confuses your dealings with others. You will have to learn to face reality, so that you can at least communicate with people. Otherwise you will have a very lonely life.
Your self-confidence needs to be built up as much as possible so that you can face people without fear, tell the truth about yourself and be honest in other ways as well.
Venus Inconjunct Neptune
This aspect means that your attitudes about love and affection are very idealistic, as will become clearer later in life. Also it can be a sign of creative artistic ability if there are other indications of creativity in your chart.
This aspect will work out with the fewest problems if you get a great deal of emotional support from your parents and other loved ones. While you are young, this attitude (of needing to make sacrifices) is likely to show up only as a feeling of unworthiness and shyness toward others, especially those who seem to like you. When you are older, you may have severe problems in love relationships, because you feel that you are only good enough for society’s losers, people who badly need help or have severe emotional problems. You must learn to take a clear, objective view of the people you are attracted to and to realize that you deserve a positive love relationship as much as the other person does, for you are as worthwhile as anyone.
(There it is, in black and white.)
During the closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics, George sang this song…
I took notice.
Four years later, he died. I wonder if he saw the White Light then? I expect so.
Strange, though, his personal last Christmas ended with a literal broken heart.
Four years after that the song, “Last Christmas,” finally reached number one in the charts. It only took 36 years. I guess that’s proof the the music goes on, even after you’re gone. Rest in Peace, George.
Jordan Peterson, Rudolf Steiner and Thomas Aquinas
This image is apt, at least to our discussion. Jordan Peterson seems to be in a world of his own, without peers, and the psychology/media world are upset with him. Here are his 12 rules for publishing.
Lest this be blasphemous, I have gone beyond the Rudolf Steiner past life, back to Thomas Aquinas (a 13th century saint).
There are enough links to suggest that this past life may be true, too. Do you think he knows it?
